GOPENG: The Human Resources Ministry will table a proposal to the cabinet on a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to bring in maids from Cambodia.
Minister Datuk Seri M. Saravanan today said his ministry had gone through various stages involving the matter and the MoU was expected to be completed soon.
"We are in the process (of finalising the details) and it will take time, but we are trying to speed it up.
"I will present the proposed MoU to the cabinet to bring in foreign workers, especially Muslim maids from Cambodia."
He said this after attending the groundbreaking ceremony for the Gopeng Bell Tamil Youth Club House here.
Saravanan was responding to questions about the government's proposal to bring in maids from countries other than Indonesia.
"I have had discussions with the Cambodian government and they will provide us the opportunity (to bring in maids)."
He said Malaysia had begun receiving maids from Indonesia from July 1.
